Upgrading Versus Updating Dynamics 365 & Power Apps Solutions
We now have the option of either upgrading a solution or updating a solution when we import solutions into environments.
An upgrade involves replacing an existing solution with a new version. Updates, on the other hand, are designed to add components and update existing components. Updates are what we used to have when we did not have a choice of doing an upgrade or an update. It's the old way things were done.
If you delete an entities or fields, an upgrade means the deleted components will no longer exist in the environment you are importing the solution into. In the old way of doing things, deletes never occurred when you moved a solution into a new environment. With an upgrade, you are doing a full removal of the old solution and replacing with the new solution.
Well, if no components were deleted in your solution you may opt for an update. The update of your imported solution will occur faster than an upgrade because only the changes are imported. Theoretically you do not have to do an entire regression test because you only need to test those items impacted by your changes.
